Victorian Senior Country Championships

Well done to the dedicated hockey enthusiasts who travelled to Bendigo last weekend to represent Hockey Geelong at the Victorian Senior Country Championships.

It was a very typical King’s/Queen’s Birthday weekend with the rain keeping the teams company for much of the time.

Thanks to Georgie van Beek for co-ordinating the Women’s Masters team.

After an initial blip with weather, the team was able to get going. The ladies had 3 goals scored on them in the first half of the first game with a resulting 3-2 loss. Other than that we held them out for a lot of draws. We finally got some goals in the vs 4-5 game to get into the playoff for third. Which resulted in another scoreless draw, the goalies were all firing in the masters.

Women’s Masters – 4th position – 3 draws, 1 loss, 2 goals and for 3 against

Goals to Cass Calder 3 and Sarah Dyson 1

Thanks to Peter Hill, Daniel Glenn, Luke Cazaly and others who marshalled the troops for the open men’s team.

Open men – 7th position – 1 draw, 3 losses, 4 goals for and 11 goals against.

Goals to Jake Boyd, Eli Merckel, Peter Taylor, Richard Symes
